There's no MAC address issue unless your NICs are integrated. &nbsp;If they are, you should disable the current NICs before removing the MoBo and then configure the new ones exactly the same and rerun the Configure Email and Internet Connection Wizard (CEICW). &nbsp;<br />

I'm assuming here that this is an IDENTICAL Motherboard... same model, same chipset, same everything?<br />

Motherboard Change on Domain Controller (SBS 2003 R2)

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
